It has become a ritual now for the past few years that between Christmas and New Year I send out GOODBYE 2014 HELLO 2015 – a free 10-page guide to help you mark the end of the year you’ve just lived and set a vision for what you want 2015 to be all about.

It takes you through a series of questions to help you reflect on the year that’s just been and get ready for the year that we’re about to step into.

There’s a growing number of us who now do this religiously every year. In fact I know people in London, the mountains of Vancouver, Goa and Buenos Airesthat are getting ready to take some time out over the next few days to do their ‘Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015’ review.

It’s a lovely way to acknowledge all that you’ve been through in just one year. How you’ve grown, the people you’re grateful for, the experiences you’ve had and all that you’ve learnt.

And then the power of it is when you set an intention for the year ahead and what you want it to be filled with, how you want it to feel. It really does work. Just give it a try.

And the beauty of it is that when you start to do it at this time every year, you can read back through your previous ‘Goodbye 20xx, Hello 20xx’ and see the changes in you and in your life as you go from one year to the next. I now have 4 years of ‘Goodbye 20xx, Hello 20xx’ saved on my computer and it is amazing to see how much has changed in that time, both in my life, but also in myself.
